yeah, for future reference, anytime you buy a used car first thing to do is a full tune up. saves A LOT of headaches.

I dont know alot about cars, but if your at a low speed say 30mph, and going at 1- 1 1/2 rpm why would transmission be causing your sputter????? wouldn't it just slip??? I think its somewhere in exaust/coil/plugs/wires area, but thats just me (with same issue..lol)

well mine happened all the way from 15 mph and up. as long as your moving the transmission has potential to suck up a piece of the crap thats in the pan. mine may had been doin it all the time but i may not had been able to feel it. i felt the same way at first tho, which is why i checked everything else first. you start little than work your way to bigger things.

I would say you probably have a bad coil pack.

My car is like brand new again!!!
